It’s very popular here, but I love it and would consider using it.
Ahh, Arthur, one of my oldest loves. So gentle and handsome, and comes with the adorable nicknames Art or Artie! A perfect name in my opinion.
I actually don't think of either the aardvark or the king, honestly. I think of my favourite 3rd grade teacher, whose name was actually Gerald, but who looked almost exactly like my favourite book character at that time - a Victorian gentleman-scientist named Arthur. I conflated the two in my little brain and created the perfect amalgam of a kindly, intelligent man.

I love it, and I definitely think more of King Arthur. I'm a big fan of Arthurian names in general, so that will always be what I think of first.
Both; I don’t really think of one more than the other. It’s quite the mixture.
I also think of Arthur from Peaky Blinders.
The name’s lost its charm for me. I think it’s kind of ugly, really.

Don't like it
I love Arthur. I don't really think of the aardvark when I hear the name Arthur, I do think it sounds regal and sophisticated, so I guess I think of the King.
